Monster Hunter 3 G: coming soon on 3DS


The upcoming Monster Hunter 3 (Tri) G is a sequel to the Wii title Monster Hunter 3 (Tri), and will be released on the Nintendo 3DS. The underwater features that were not present in Monster Hunter Portable 3rd will again return in this game, with a different control scheme. The game will feature local wireless play, and 3DS Streetpass functionality.

Features



  • A new Brute Wyvern monster named Burakidiosu. It resides in the Volcano. It is also the flagship monster of MH3G.
     
  • Returning monsters from Monster Hunter Tri are (as confirmed so far) Sharq, Epioth, Jaggi, Uroktor, Great Baggi, Great Jaggi, Qurupeco, Barroth, Gobul, Agnaktor, Rathalos, Rathian, Lagiacrus, Uragaan, Diablos, Barioth, Royal Ludroth, Jhen Mohran, Gigginox and Ceadeus.
    Some of these monsters have new moves such as Lagiacrus now being able to generate an electric surge around itself on land, Gigginox laying eggs on its back, Qurupeco performing a dance that induces Sleep on nearby hunters and Jhen Mohran shooting a jet of sand from its mouth.
    Returning monsters from Monster Hunter Portable 3rd are (as confirmed so far) Furogi and Urukususu.
     
  • Returning 2nd Generation Monsters are (as confirmed so far) Azure Rathalos, Pink Rathian and Plesioth. These monsters have been revamped for the game.
